    #1: This has been discussed in several threads and isn't that easy to do. Otherwise someone would have already done it successfully, I guess. :ermm: You might search the forum to find out about the results of the other discussions.

    #2: Maybe not so bad. I've seen in some clients an option like "Don't download files already in share", but ApexDC appears not to have that option/feature. I couldn't find that option and neither Apex did anything like it when I just tested it. I guess that would be enough, though. Any more display like "Already downloaded" or "Download started but cancelled".. I don't know, is that really needed? In my opinion people should know what they download and especially where they put that stuff after DL.

    EDIT: Oh, and welcome to ApexDC forum. :)

    Not sure about your hub (address, if it isn't private?), but we've certainly noticed the huge amounts of dedication and work from the whole of the TGO staff (especially Sidetrack). Without them, I don't think that hub would be half as popular, and receive the respect it deserves. :)

    So yeah, we notice. :)

    My hub's address: 10.5.223.43:4111 :)

    Yeah, it's rather private, in a campus LAN and not reachable from the internet. As well as we can't reach hubs in the internet. One reason why we miss so many things coing on and developing in the "outside" DC community and notice it only if something like that NMDC-Style filelist thingy happens..

    But I guess my post came out wrong. I meant that normal users, e.g users of ApexDC, or e.g. users of my hub, often don't see the work behind that all:

    The work you guys spent and spend on coding the client, fixing bugs, hosting and maintaining this website, helping, explaining, listening and supporting here; the work a hub admin does when setting up and maintaining a hub, watching after the rules to make it pleasant for every user, "donating" a private computer to the community that is running day and night in one's room and causing bad sleep, working on a website for the hub with helps and howtos...

    You know, stuff like that. And only to get f***ed and shouted at by some stupid users when they get e.g. banned from the hub for sharing bad stuff or when something in the client doesn't work. For some people it's just natural that there are hubs and clients available to everyone without asking why and who made it.

    Anyway, don't mean to complain here. Just wanted to make myself clear; I hope it worked now. :-)

    For me this sounds rather like your RAM is damaged in a certain area.

    As you describe it it seems that everything works fine as long as you use ApexDC or a player alone. Maybe, when using both at the same time, accidentally RAM is used up to that point that is damaged. Though I have no idea about RAM handling by applications.. :)

    I'd suggest you check your RAM with memtest86 or a similar tool to make sure.

    Hell, in cases like these I hate it not to be able to connect to public hubs but only to the local ones on our campus. There we hardly take notice of anything that's going on in the "outside" DC, so I have no clue...

    And now, finally, my screenshots from the home base computer. ;)

    First with all chaos and open windows:

    Click for screenshot-active

    I'm running on dual screen, left with 1280x1024, right with 1600x1200. Monitors have different sizes so it fits when they are placed next to each other. On the left screen there is a VNC window to my hub and webserver computer open.

    And second with all calm, the way it's supposed to be.

    Click for screenshot-passive

    For those who like it: The wallpaper on the left is called "threesome1", the one on the right is "Asgard". Skin is "Shinobi". Actually, I like the right screen more, it's also my primary working space.

    Ah, I've never used olvwm, although it seems to like similar to JWM. I'd probably just stick to Fluxbox if I made the switch for good, as I use bbLean on Windows... just a shame how primative Fluxbox is in comparision.

    Do you know if in Fluxbox or JWM you can define if windows of certain programs have title bars on top or not? I mean something like e.g. the clock or the virtual desktop window in my screenshot. They can be set to have a title bar or to appear without as in the screenshot, by putting something like this to $HOME/.Xresources:

    OpenWindows.MinimalDecor:	   Virtual xclock

    If that is possible I might as well switch to one of these WMs to finally have a close button for the windows.. :) I could not find any way to add such feature into olwm (olvwm is the version of olwm with virtual desktop), even though googling and reading the manpages of olwm and olvwm for hours...

    I think what makes olvwm/olwm different to the WMs you mentioned, is the complete absense of some kind of taskbar. Everything in olwm must be started via shell command or via the right-click menu - at least if that is configured properly. If you somehow lost track of a window you gotta search for it, maybe behind all the other windows, since you cannot easily see what apps are running. ;) Anyway, there at work I just overtook a running system and with the time I modified it slightly as far as I dared with manpages and stuff. But probably there is a way to have taskbars in olwm, as well.

    Using Fluxbox or JWM maybe?

    No, it's debian linux with olvwm as window manager. :) Simple, ressources friendly (unlike KDE) and actually even quite old, but still has almost everything I need here. The only thing it's lacking is a <close> button for the windows (like the [x] on te top right for most windows proggies)... But well, as of now, this is just at work. At home I'm of course still with windows...

    [...]So the make a temp site.

    Nope, in a minute that dcpp.net was working a little faster than 0.00000001 B/s I could read a post from Todi saying that YnHub.org will be the new home of YnHub. Together with the comment that it sounds much better as the address to the hub soft. :D

    Yupp via DC too bad DC++ Homepage is still down but hublist.org is up again :) all of dc is pulling together and helping out against these attacks thats been going on :D

    So there indeed something has been going on recently. I found it very suspicious so many important DC related homepages being down or veeeeeeery slow almost simultaneously...

    btw no decition has been made on the final name for the apex linux client so suggestions are welcome.

    I think it should be obvious that it is related to ApexDC++, so maybe "LApexDC++" would fit? I wouldn't agree with any word conrtruction that contains just a cut part of the word 'Apex' so something line 'Linpex' or so would be out of question, in my opinion.

    But what do I know... :D

    Hey, didn't mean to offend anyone of you nor I meant to complain. I am well aware - and I think most of the users agree - that you are not to be considered spammers, but a very dedicated, helpful and patient dev and support team.

    Actually, that's what I meant to point out with my post, I hope it wasn't missunderstood because of that supposed-to-be-funny comment in brackets. :D

    I really appreciate your work and efforts and the time you spend here to help others. As a hub admin I know that rarely ever someone notices the work behind something like this.

    For those who are interested and might not have already found it out by accident, as I just did:

    The YnHub homepage was obviously moved to a new domain, YnHub.org.

    I wonder how the ones that already found it did actually find it... :D

    Congrats for that achievement also to the devs, subs and testers.

    And continuing with statistics, more than a third of all the posts were actually done by Crise, Lee and Greg... :D

    (How are wise number's twisters saying: Don't trust in statistics that you didn't fake yourself... :fear:)

    I'm not sure, since I didn't really test it yet, but the following option sounds to me like it would do the trick:

    Open Settings, e.g. via the "File" menu or via the "Settings..." button in the toolbar, navigate to "Downloads" > "Queue" and select it. Then on the right side there's an option named "Manual settings of number of segments". Check this setting and enter a '1' in the number field. So to my understanding, when setting segments numbers for all files to '1' they shouldn't be downloaded in segments.

    Also, when you are already downloading the file, you can open your "Download queue" (via the toolbar button, via CTRL+D or the "Transfer" menu). Then browse to the file and right-click it. There is an option "Max number of segments", you could set the lowest number possible (for me "1 segment" was not available, don't know why). Though, this setting is per file, and you'd have to repeat it for any file you need to.

    Actually, there have been some discussions in other threads about if it's possible at all to "lose" one's slot between the segments. I guess you have given another example that it indeed might happen...

    Can't we make like, f. ex., in Firefox? Each button there can be moved/removed.

    Can't we already? What about Settings > Appearance > Toolbar, every available button can be placed and/or removed there.

    Or do you mean in such a fancy and graphical way as it is in FF? (I just found that possibility in FF when I was searching for it after reading your post.. ^_^)

    Anyway, nice to hear that this thread hasn't been forgotton. Though, I hope also the other features find their way back soon.

    my download speed out side of using a p2p program is good, but using a p2p it just goes crap. Could my isp be cutting my bandwith when a p2p program is running?

    Could be, yes. Sounds like you also experienced this with other P2P programs.

    You could try activating the options "Send garbage on incoming connection (to avoid ISP P2P throttling)" and "Send garbage on outgoing connection (to avoid ISP P2P throttling)" in ApexDC Settings > "Advanced". Maybe this solves your problem.

    My downloads start at a certrain speed and then get less and less each second until 0bps and then disconnect

    I guess the speed isn't really decreasing more and more. I think there is an unthrottled transfer at the beginning of your download that stops suddenly. And what you see as an effect of becoming slower and slower most likely is just the result of your DC doing the math on transferred bytes divided through time of transfer (kB/s). So if there are no more bytes coming but the connection is still considered to be active, the displayed transfer rate will decrease until it's below the "Disconnect downloads if speed is below: XX" setting (in Settings > Advanced > Limits) or until the client gives up to wait.

    I could be wrong, though. I don't know how Apex handles the transfer rate display.

    Hi, especially to those I also know from the YnHub forum. :)

    Does somebody accidentally know anything about the YnHub homepage? The website seems to be down since last night or so and trying to connect to http://dcdev.net/YnHub/ sometimes results in a "403 Forbidden" error but most of the times just in a timeout.

    Did I miss something there? Did they move the page or something?

    <hopefulmode> (But maybe Todi, Yoshi and/or Nev are just working on the page and might have a little surprise for those of us who have been waiting for so many months now... :whistling:) </hopefulmode>

    Hi,

    I don't know what features does Invision Board offer the admin and its users, but is it possible to enable something like and overview over "All my posts" in "My Controls"? I know such feature from 'vBulletin' and I think also from 'phpBB' forums. In vBulletin it's called "My Subscriptions", where you have a central overview over all your posts and you can easily activate/disable the email notification ("Subscription" in Invision Board) per topic with a checkbox or drop-down menu. In Invision Board's "My Control" it's only possible to view the posts and topics I subscribed to by checking "Subscribe" when typing the message. And to find my own posts I forgot to check the "Subscribe" box, I need to view my own profile to select "View member's posts" from the [Profile Options] box. And then at first I only get all my posts displayed in their entirety, but I cannot see if there have been any replys without opening each of them.

    I find this option very useful in other forums to easily find replys to posts or threads that are not shown in "View New Posts" anymore...

    Sure, but what makes DC be a community and what makes it different to all the other P2P programs?

    Correct, the built-in chat function. For me actually almost more important and definitely more often used than the download function, I think ever since I've been using DC (like 5 or 6 years now, I think..). ;-)

    Or if i wanna give my favorites to someone else (imagine if i have 20 hubs - i must remove the pass from each single one , send the favorites.xml and retype the pass for each single hub)

    Uhm.. If you give your favorites to someone else, why would YOU have to retype the passwords then after sending him? Do you seriously edit and send the original file, not a copy that can be edited and deleted after sending? :whistling:

    I have small upload speed and i must use netlimit from being lagged. I'm using NetLimiter, but in some hubs in connection column is showing NetLimiter: 50KB/s. How to hide this?

    Don't use netlimiter and instead, use the built-in bandwidth limiter. Though I'm not sure if that is displayed in your tag and neither if it can be disabled. Cannot test it at this moment. But this has been discussed recently in this forum, you might search for it - or just try it out.

    There's a little pointer in the away button and only if you click at it you will be asked for a new AM.

    Oh, okay, I didn't test this client, so I didn't know.. :whistling: But this also sounds like a good idea.

    So, more ideas/comments from others?
